Roosa Elementary

🐣 CPS will be closed Friday, April 2, 2021 for a egg-ceptional Easter holiday weekend. 🐣 We are egg-cited to celebrate the holiday with our families. Anyone got a good egg pun to crack us up? Share it in the comments. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

5th grade teachers played an April Fools Day joke on their students. They had the students fill out “new” elective forms for the Jr. High with electives like Athletics: Ballroom Dancing, Extreme Jump Roping, Foreign Language: Pig Latin, Life Skills: Interpretive Armpit Sounds and How to hold your Breath, Consumer Sciences: Making Laundry Fun and Using/Programming your VCR. Students were relieved to discover they were not "actually" the electives offered! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Parent, Student and Teacher Guides provide a list of test-taking tips, objectives covered in the test, and practice tests. Parents/guardians are encouraged to discuss these materials with their child to help prepare them for the tests. Your child's teacher will be in communication to determine testing dates. Check out this website for more information on Test Taking Tips. https://oklahoma.onlinehelp.cognia.org/parent-student-teacher-guides/ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Due to the holiday Friday, April 2nd - Weekend meals for distance learners will be available for pick up Thursday, April 1st. Pick-up times and location will remain the same. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

JOIN OUR TEAM! Be the first smile our students see in the morning and the last smile they see as they head home. CPS is hiring bus drivers! We are looking for people who love kids, who value an opportunity to positively influence the lives of our students, and see these young people as precious cargo. 🚌District bus drivers work either four or five-hour routes per day. In the past, driving positions have proven to be a good fit for many retirees looking to make extra money while keeping them active in the community. In addition, it is a good income source for college students or parents looking for extra money. Drivers come from diverse backgrounds, but they have one common thread; they enjoy being around and helping the kids. 🚌 If you are interested in becoming a Claremore Public School bus driver, please contact Jennifer Hayes, CPS Transportation Director, for additional details. The job does require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with school and passenger endorsements. The school district will reimburse these costs and starting pay begins at $15 per hour.
